I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.
His return gives England another key to its bow.
I do appreciate that the most important thing as manager is to get good results.
I think management is about just that - managing people via man-to-man skills.
The way I was brought up by my parents and guided through my football life by the influences of various managers means that in some ways I am black and white.
I have seen the film The Alamo and right now I feel like I've got Davy Crockett behind me. Sometimes I feel like I could put my head in a bucket of water
Make no mistake, you would prefer to work for someone who is going to put their arm around you at times and lift you.
In a utopia you want to win matches by several goals and by playing a wonderful brand of football. But that's utopia.
Football's in my blood - and eventually I want to be the one making decisions.
There is a set of rules and a code of conduct that I believe that you should adhere to in life.
It would be absolute folly to rule myself out of any job.
But to me the bottom line is the more education you can give yourself, and the more preparation you can do, the less chance of failing.
I am ready to work, I am ready for this job and I am ready for this challenge. (on being Manchester City manager)

I may be able to put a good book tape on in the car on the way home and I will have a smile on my face.
I enjoy making the decisions.
I have made it totally clear to the players that my door will always be open.
I want them to be fully committed to the work place and fully committed to the people they work for. (on Manchester City players)
I am one of those people who quite enjoys responsibility.
Join the club. (to Robbie Fowler after the striker missed a penalty against Middlesbrough that cost Man City a European place)
It can be a bit of a hindrance when you walk into a restaurant for a quiet meal and one or two launch into 'psycho, psycho'!
Suddenly, I win the derby and people are talking about England again. It is absolutely pathetic
Glenn is going to bring a couple of sumo costumes down so we might have a dust-up in the technical area, that should make good TV
I have a big job on my hands now, there is no mistaking that, but I feel as though I have calmness within myself. (on being Manchester City manager)
At this club, all I see is great backing all the way down for me and I will be judged on results like the next man. (on being Manchester City manager)
